Seattle Landmark Closes Doors

The Best Medicine
by: Arthur Bacon
Thanks to a very smart girlfriend and Mr. Fulbright I spent most of this past
year in Naples, Italy. Don’t believe any of the propaganda you hear about
Italy. Remember Gibbon’s famous book, “The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire”? In my nine months traveling from Campagna to Tuscany
to the Veneto I saw nothing to suggest that Italy is not still in a reckless
freefall (Google; New York Times “La Dolce Vita Sours”). Anyway,
homesickness compelled me to check the web cam at Dr Cue’s in Seattle,
WA at least once a week to see the
action on “Table One”. I desperately
missed The Doctor’s because,
much to my horror and dismay,
pocket pool is not a fashionable
pastime in Italy, at least not in
Naples. The most popular game
there is some sort of bocce ball
played on a billiard table where they
actually throw the balls around the
table. I can only assume that this is
because they are too poor to be able
to afford sticks. I don’t really know,
but it rendered my Judd cue
irrelevant. I practiced my stroke on
the kitchen table and watched every
You tube minute of nine ball, ten ball
and one pocket I could download off
that thing Al Gore invented. I had been addicted to the green felt, the clicking
balls and dark ambience of pool. I looked forward to getting back to Seattle
and getting some “holistic” therapy at The Doctor’s.
Then, just as I was about to
Once John Schmitt spent two weeks camped in his Motor Home in the
parking lot. Another time Corey Deuel spent a week at The Doctor’s giving
lessons and taking on some of the local “players”. I’ll never forget his late
night one-pocket duel with Harry Platis. After watching Harry win with a
heroic “Z” bank, I can tell you, if I ever have any legal problems, I’m gonna
call Mr. Platis! Legendary pool. Guys like Mike Zimmerman, Chris Bartram,
Rafael Martinez and the young Justin Bergman would show up now and
then to liven things up. Meanwhile the
inimitable Dan Louie and Todd Marsh
were always around to keep things
at a high standard on Table One. I’ll
never forget Todd’s gutsy win over
Chris Bartram and Jason Klatt in a
high stakes One Pocket match. One
Tuesday night my girlfriend and I
watched enthralled as Todd Marsh
and Mike Zimmerman gave a “clinic”
on virtuoso safety play. It doesn’t get
any better than that at Derby City.
Tuesday nine ball tournaments were
the highlight of most weeks at the
Doctor’s bringing shooters from as
far away as Vancouver and Portland
for the two or three hundred dollar
prize and $1,500 break pot. Some
guys would buy twenty or thirty tickets just for a chance to try to sink the
nine on the break. One night I had the winning ticket. Lets just say it is not
one of my fonder memories since all eyes turned toward this weekly attempt
at fame and fortune. Although I had been a good athlete all my life, I could
never master the athleticism of an attention-getting, rocket-launching break
shot. Once, when I was playing Chris Bartram’s road partner, Jason Klatt,
he let me win the lag and I actually miscued on the break! A lot of the house
players were watching as the cue ball slithered down the table into the side
of the rack. Jason told me afterwards that he thought it might have been
(Medicine continued on page 5)

come home, I find out that Dr.
Cue’s has closed! I can’t believe it; I just cannot accept the fact that a
place where I spent so many hundreds of hours, made so many friends,
where, truth be told, I spent a small fortune...is gone forever. The mountains
I climbed are still there, the rivers I have run are still there, Nicaragua and
Patagonia where I have worked and traveled are still there....but The
Doctor’s is gone. For two years in Seattle I practically lived at The Doctor’s.
They probably would have let me sleep there if I had asked. I would get
there in the early morning as they were cleaning, have coffee with Matt or
Jeff and then remove to the back room and feel as though I had died and
gone to heaven... all alone in the corner, savoring the total silence for
hours as I practiced alone with my thoughts and fantasies. So what if it
rained thirty days in a row!
I too am sad that Dr Cue’s is closed. I remember when Matt and Jeff opened. I
took a photo of them with their
good friend Mike Massey in Las
Vegas at the 2001 BCA Expo.
I gave it to them while on
deliveries , Mike came in with
Gene Birkland the APA
Operator and Mike signed the
photo right then. I don’t believe
they could have ad a bigger
smile on their face. Talk about
good timing. I know they hung
it on their wall and were very
proud of it.
That’s the kind of memories
that Dr Cue’s provided, some really simple and everyday stuff and some very
memorable one like Corey and John Schmidt being there and many others as
well as the everyday players. ---Don “Cheese” Akerlow

The Best Medicine
some sort of “hustle”. Of course, after I made my first shot he knew he
was not being hustled. He was even good humored enough when, for the
final rack, I racked the balls so loosely they hardly looked like a diamond.
The astonished look on his
face was worth the
humiliation of the previous six
racks; and then he smiled,
and proceeded to atomize the
balls all over the table leaving
some doubt in my mind about
the significance of a “tight”
rack. The Doctor’s was the
kind of place where you could
play a great player like Chris
or Jason for twenty bucks.
A kid named Chuckie Holyoke
used to be a regular at Dr. Cue’s and once in awhile we would play some
sort of little hustle I would make up. Once I thought I could beat him in a
game of caroms I had made up. I used to practice caroms endlessly from
my days in Buenos Aires playing billiards. No luck. Another time I spent a
few weeks practicing my “spot shot” and challenged him to a contest. I
had some sort of special way of lining up the cue ball and object ball with a
diamond on the end rail blah, blah, blah and was able to get seven or eight
out of ten and feel proud of myself. Selfcongratulation blinded me to excellence.
Chuckie just casually put the cue ball down
near where he would as if to break and sunk
ten in a row and walked
back into the front room
for some real action.
Another
time
I
challenged him to a race to five for ten bucks to which he agreed except
that he had to play with his break cue and no chalk. Well, at least some day
I hope I will be able to say that I beat a national champion... even if he was
only twelve years old at the time!
Some guys play for serious money and have to sweat out long, late-night
hours of one pocket or nine ball. But there are other ways to make money
in pool and the most embarrassing I ever saw was called Billiard University.
Some guy from an obscure Dakota town began advertising in about October
that he would be at The Doctor’s for “Billiard University” come January. A
5
continued from page 3
thousand dollars would get you three days of instruction with Professor
Bozo, “winner of over three hundred tournaments” and sundry other dubious
recommendations. Half a dozen guys signed up and come January, found
themselves
sitting
around one of the tables
in the back room
scratching their heads
over arcane diagrams,
taking multiple choice
tests and listening to
Professor Bozo explain
his cornfield theories of
pool, the most interesting
thing I happened to
overhear being that
“follow-through” is passé
nowadays. He had a stick
he must have picked up
at K-mart and of course,
never played a game,
never even demonstrated an ability to run three balls.
His whole deal was stroking. Months after he left I would
see a couple of those guys stretching out their little
string guides and sticky donuts and trying to stroke
the ball without follow-through and have it come back
straight. Yeah, and George Bush is going to learn to
say “nuclear.”
The thing I really loved about The Doctors was the fact
that it was a serious players venue, a room where, at
least several dozen very, very good players
congregated daily and played for hour after hour with
concentrated commitment. I would say that of the
hundred guys who played there regularly only two or three might have been,
to use an academic term, hawseholes; the rest were all regular guys, some
of whom still had baggage from Viet Nam, credit card debt or bad marriages
just like the rest of us. Anybody who doesn’t have “baggage” after the age
of fifty hasn’t lived a very interesting life. But most of them were the kind of
guys you could depend on in a donnybrook and if somebody didn’t show
up for a week people would get concerned. And although most good players
have their closely guarded secrets regarding kicks and banks and aiming,
by and large I felt that I could ask just about anybody at The Doctor’s for a
bit of advise now and then and it was given generously.
I was going to move back to Seattle... but now...I don’t know. Without The
Doctor’s where am I going to get my therapy?

A Kick-in Challenge
By: Bob Jewett

Here is a challenge shot that will help you to learn how
the cushions work. It also leads naturally to some diamond
systems for kicking.
The challenge is to see how many 3-cushion shots it takes
you to kick a ball into a pocket starting with the object
ball on the spot. The rules are simple. The object ball
begins on the spot. The cue ball begins anywhere on the
table on each shot. The cue ball has to hit at least three
cushions before contacting the object ball. The object
Bob Jewett
ball stays where you hit it to after each shot until it goes
in the correct pocket.
Tables differ, so even the first shot will need to be tailored to your conditions. On the
table I play on, the cue ball goes as shown in the diagram if I shoot at Diamond A
with running (left) follow. You should be able to find the right spot on your own table
within a few shots if you go at it systematically. You can keep either the target or
the starting point constant and vary the other to
get a different
angle. For example, if the cue ball goes too “long”
from
the
illustrated spot, you
could aim towards a
spot closer to the side
pocket along the long
rail. You could also
vary the spin on the cue
ball, but I recommend
keeping
that
a
constant: equal parts of
running and follow.
“Short” and “long” are
standard ways to refer
to how the cue ball
comes off of cushions.
If a table plays “short”
then you know to adjust
the shot to come in
“longer.” Which way to
adjust is obvious after
a little practice.
Once you have moved
the object ball off the
spot — such as to spot
B — you need to be
able to hit it again.
Now a system can be
useful. If you can
estimate the spot you
need to hit on the third
cushion, the corner-5
system
which
I
described in an earlier
column is useful. (All
my past columns are
available on the OTBN
website.)
Another system I like
for this challenge is the “opposite 3” which is explained fully in Robert Byrne’s book,
“Wonderful World of Pool and Billiards.” Briefly, if you need to hit a ball at B, you put
the cue ball in the mirror-image spot across the table at C and then simply shoot to
X. This works quite well for a wide range of shots, but the spot X varies some from
table to table. It will require some experimentation to find the spot on your table.
Sometimes the spot is out in the middle of the table, such as at W.
If you happen to knock the object ball to E, you’re in trouble. The normal 3-cushion
path doesn’t work well there because the side pocket is in the way. Change over to
the so-called “plus system.” Put the cue ball at F and shoot towards G, then hitting
near A and C before going toeards the ball at E. The plus system is more sensitive
to spin and speed than the corner-5, so you will need to experiment more to find
what works best for your conditions.
This challenge can be done as a competition for two or several players — whoever
takes the fewest shots gets the pot and shoots first in the next set.
Executive Billiards’ DELTA-13 Rack
7
New Marketing Representation
Parker, Colorado, June 4, 2008: Executive Billiards, makers of
the DELTA-13 rack, is pleased to announce their marketing
alignment with Samm Diep of Aurora, Colorado (creator of
SammsPocket.com and PoolTipJar.com). Diep will be
promoting and representing the DELTA-13 rack at
upcoming professional and amateur events across the
country in 2008.
So far in 2008, the DELTA-13 rack is already the official
Samm Diep
rack for the UPA Tour and Tony Robles Predator 9-Ball
Tour. It was also the sponsoring rack for the 8th Annual Predator International 10Ball Championships in Las Vegas, NV. It will also be the official rack for the BCA
GenerationPool.com 9-Ball Championships in Charlotte, NC during the BCA
tradeshow.
“I’m thrilled to have someone with her experience so close to home,” says Terry
Taggart, founder of Executive Billiards. Samm Diep, “Cherry Bomb”, semi-professional
player, instructor, writer, reporter, and author of “You Might Be A D Player If...” has a
degree in marketing and comes from a strong business and marketing background.
She plans to use her expertise and relationships in the industry to educate players
on the quality of the DELTA-13 rack.
“I couldn’t represent a product that I didn’t truly believe in. The wooden and plastic
racks can’t touch the DELTA-13. It’s truly state of the art,” says Diep. She has been
using the DELTA-13 rack during all her practice and teaching sessions.
She’s not the only one excited about that rack so far. There’s already a buzz amongst
the professionals that have been using it in the tournaments. “It’s the best rack I’ve
ever seen. There are no spaces in between the balls. It’s awesome!” says Tony
Robles, Professional Player and Predator 9-Ball Tour Director. “My custom laser
engraved rack looks beautiful and works great! Straight pool enthusiasts will love
the small size of this rack- many more break balls are usable with this thin but
strong profile.” says Mike Fieldhammer (BilliardCoach.com), Professional Billiard
Instructor.
“Delta” is for the Greek symbol for its shape and “13” is for aluminum’s place on the
periodic table of elements. Made from 6061 Aluminum, the DELTA-13 racks are
quality checked on a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to ensure accuracy.
Unlike the standard plastic or wooden rack, it’s guaranteed to never warp, bend, or
break. There is absolutely no give in the sides of the rack and that’s why it outperforms
the others.
Ask for the DELTA-13 rack at Seyberts.com or PoolDawg.com. The unique, patentpending ergonomic design of the rack allows for easy removal from the balls. It’s
available in red, blue, black, or gold and each side can be personalized with custom
engraving to include text and graphic logos. The retail price is $119 plus $12 shipping/
handling. Please visit ExecutiveBilliards.com for more details.
Executive Billiards is a subsidiary of RJD Machining, a 21 year old precision
machining company which manufactures components for aerospace, medical device,
and computer storage industries. 85% of the components they manufacture are
made from aluminum, which has given them a great deal of experience and expertise
in cutting this material. Executive Billiards is also a member of the Billiards Congress
of America.

Sam’ss 14.1 T
Tournament
PORTLAND, OR
Sam’s Billiards monthly 14.1 Tournament on June 1, 2008 had the smallest
turnout (8 players) of any first Sunday tournament since January, 2006. It
was kind of nice, really.
Paul Marquez was back for his first tournament in several years and won
his first three matches again Buzz Poleson, Sam Rabito, and Norton
Johnson to reach the finals. There were two new players, John Malliarakis
and Michael Justice, who ended up in 2nd and third place, respectively,
both beating Paul in the finals. The match between John and Paul was the
closest of the tournament, John winning 50 to 49. Buzz came back from
his one loss to Paul to win a squeaker over Sam (50 to 47) to reach the
finals, and then Buzz beat Michael and John to take first place.
Despite the lack of high runs, there were some very good games and
everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
The next first Sunday Straight Pool Tournament at Sam’s Billiards is July 6,
starting at 11 AM. Tables are open for practice for participants from 10 AM.
The entry fee is $15.
M8 Pool Leagues
M8 Pool Leagues, the Largest Independent Pool League in the
World, is a handicapped "Race to Points" league with over 600
teams and over 5000 members in Minnesota alone. The annual
M8 Midwest Championships pays out over $100,000.00 on site
with a top team prize of $11,500.00 and the top Singles Prize of
$3,500.00. Player ratings range from 30 - 125 and they earn a
point for every ball of their group pocketed each game and 7 points
coming to a location near you

they can keep their opponent under their rating. Teams can earn
team bonus points based on the combined total of their player's
handicaps or penalties if they go over the team maximum limit but they can never be disqualified because of their team total
handicap. Our league is expanding, to learn more - visit us at

Championship match. Now we just had to wait and see who was going to come through
the B side to challenge us. We kept telling each other that it just didn’t matter, we were
going to take it in one match. Right from the start you could see that the opposing team
had ideas of their own. We played Newtowne Naturals from Virginia. We dug down deep,
and gave it our all. Judy won her game to tie the match up at 7-7. Faye lost her game to
make it 7-8, then Becky lost her game to bring it to 7-9, then Kit won her game to bring the
match to 8-9. Then Becky’s face turned the familiar red, and you knew she was not going
to let that game get away from her. Becky tied the game up 9-9. Now it was all in Kit’s
corner and she played it like a pro. The three of us assumed the position again, only this
time we were telling each other it’s in the bag. Judy was sitting with her head down chanting,
let me her Kit’s balls dropping, let me hear the ball’s dropping, Faye was all teared up and

were squeezing each other’s hands so tight
we cut off our circulation. When that 8-ball
dropped we jumped up screaming in total

Kick Up Your Heels

And Celebrate A Good Break!
By Roger Long, Advanced Certified Instructor
This article was written a few years back, but it
covers an ageless subject, so it was time to drag
it out of mothballs and run it again.
Is your 9-Ball break as bad as mine? Let me
rephrase that. Is your 9-Ball break as bad as
mine used to be? My break didn’t start out all
that bad. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until I
started trying to improve my break that it started
getting worse.
In the quest for a better 9-Ball break, I have tried
Roger Long
a lot of different techniques. But a couple of
facts hold true on the break regardless of the methods used, and those
facts are: You must generate as much speed as possible, and you must
follow through as far as possible.
For a long time, everything I tried just didn’t seem to help me get any more
speed or more follow through. Sometimes, things even seemed to get worse.
I gripped the cue farther back on the butt. Then I gripped the cue farther
forward. I lengthened my bridge. Then I shortened it. I stood more upright.
Then I got real low. I worked on my concentration and timing. Then I said to
heck with the concentration, I’ll just try to throw the cue as hard as I can.
(My timing wasn’t bad on that technique…my cue nailed some guy just as
he got halfway across the room.) But I kept trying and trying and trying.
And still, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Then one day I was looking at a pool magazine and in it were some side-byside pictures of three of the top male professionals, all caught in the act of
breaking racks of 9-Ball. I quickly noticed that their breaking forms were
almost identical. All three of these men are known to be great 9-Ball breakers,
so I decided that I had better pay real close attention to the little things
these guys have in common. And that’s when I learned something vitally
important! Now, what I’m about to reveal to you really should go into the “I
didn’t want to have to show you this” category, because I might have to play
some of you in future competitions and I really hate having my own advice
used against me. Oh well, here goes.
The first thing I noticed about the players in the pictures was how far they
were following through on their break shots. They were high up over the
table and their arms were fully extended. Being up high over the table
during the break allows the player the needed clearance to swing from the
shoulder, which in turn allows the maximum follow through. Then my eyes
went to their feet where I noticed that they were all up on the toes of their
forward foot. That explained how they were getting that maximum height
and extension. Then I noticed that each player’s rear foot was kicked up
behind him as high as he could get it! Now what the heck did that have to
do with anything?
Curious as to why three great 9-Ball breakers would all feel the need to kick
up their heels, I took the technique to the practice table. Man, what a
difference! Kicking up the rear foot is the first single technique that has
ever made a significant difference in the effectiveness of my break. Since
incorporating a kick into my 9-Ball break, my “Good Break” percentage
(dropping at least one ball without scratching) has risen about 20%!
So, to answer my own question concerning the kick, I would have to surmise
that what it does is two things: First, it helps you get up on the toes of your
forward foot for height extension; then, it helps you pivot forward from the
waist for better follow- through extension.
Next time you’re watching a professional play 9-Ball, keep an eye on his
rear foot when he breaks. He’ll probably be kicking his own butt, and kicking
his opponent’s as well.

The 2008 Desert Classic Tour was
at Kolby’s Corner Pocket in Tempe,
Arizona, for the 3rd leg of their 2008
tour. Up for grabs was the title of
“2008 Arizona State Straight Pool
Champion”. Bernie Pettipiece won
the tournament when he defeated
Scott Frost in the finals. Chuck
Evans finished third and Tres Kane
finished fourth. The tour directors
are Dennis Orender and Jimmy
Mendoza. “On the rail” site owner,
Lenny Marshall, was on hand to
provide internet live stream for the
event as well.
The Tournament kicked off on Saturday,
June 21st, with 42 players prepared to
make a run for the state title. Straight
Pool enthusiasts such as Jimmy
Mendoza, Babe Thompson, and Bernie
Pettipiece, were only a few of the
favorites on hand for the tournament.
After play on Saturday, twelve players
returned on Sunday and found
themselves in the cash. Returning on
Sunday with one loss were Tres Kane,
Babe Thompson, Jimmy Mendoza and
Dennis Orender. Returning on Sunday
with no losses were Mike Williams,
Chuck Evans, Bernie Pettipiece, David
Wiseman, Scott Frost, Gus Briseno,
Paul Grande and Bobby Emmons.
As Sunday afternoon approached, only
Chuck Evans and Scott Frost remained
on the winner’s side, to play for the hot

seat. Scott defeated Chuck and sent
him to the one-loss side of the board.
While Scott was making quick work of
opponents on the A side of the bracket,
Tres Kane was quietly making his run
on the B side. After losing his second
match of the tournament on Saturday,
Tres rolled off an amazing seven straight
victories, before falling victim to Bernie
Pettipiece. Tres settled for 4th place,
while Bernie moved on to defeat Chuck,
who settled for third.
The finals saw two Kolby’s regulars
facing off for the state title, in a one race
final to 125. Scott quickly jumped out
to a 33-6 lead, only to watch as Bernie
methodically fought his way back into
the match. The two players exchanged
runs until Bernie scratched on a cut
shot, while leading 92-86. Upon
reaching 100, Scott was faced with a
cross-side bank shot on the one ball.
Scott missed the bank and it appeared

as if his run had
ended; however, a
lucky kiss off of
another
ball
caromed the one
into the called
pocket.
This
allowed Scott to
remain at the table
and continue his
run.
Just as it looked
like Scott was
going to run away
with the title, a
missed
shot
allowed Bernie another chance.
As he did all weekend, Bernie
maintained his composure and pulled
ahead to 117-105, before nearly
scratching on a tough breakout shot. A
miss on the ten ball, and Scott found
himself only needing 20 balls to seal a
victory. As quickly as his luck arrived
earlier on the three-rail bank shot, it
disappeared when he found himself
frozen on the same one ball, without a
clear shot.
After trading intentional fouls, Scott went
for a tough backwards cut/carom that
just missed falling in the pocket. Bernie
calmly approached the table, counted
out the nine balls he needed, and
proceeded to clear the table for the state
title. Congratulations to Bernie
Pettipiece for his victory and becoming
the 2008 Arizona State 14.1 Champion!

players were Ken Cottrell and Brady

new and presenting pool players
with the opportunity to
watch a tournament
live is growing in
popularity.
The live stream of a
one pocket match
between Efren Reyes
and Scott Frost (local
Arizona player) saw an audience of
approximately 750 viewers.
When asked why to does the live
streaming, Lenny responded, “For
the love of the game and to give
something back. This game has
given me so much enjoyment and I
wanted the fans to be able to see
live pool events.”
More streams are planned with the
upcoming 14.1 qualifier July 12-13
and the next Desert Classic Tour
stop later in the month.
Lenny’s sponsors for this event
were OnTheBreakNews.com,
Albrecht Custom Cues and
Affordable Healthcare Jason Smith.
You can view some video from the
event and others Lenny has
streamed at www.ustream.tv and
type “ontherail” into the search box
at the upper right side of the web

continue and be able to see more
live pool events on the internet.

extraordinary to say the least. Garth
Brooks, Shania Twain & Dolly Parton
(look-and-sound-a-likes), “The Queen
of White Trash” Etta May and much
more!
And this is surely just a taste of
everything that took place! See the
complete results on vnea.com.
The Valley National Eight Ball
Association (VNEA) was pleased to
be hosting the OTBnTV crew during
the International Championships in
Las Vegas. OTBnTV was on hand to
film many of the events, interviews,
talk to the vendors and present the
whole VNEA Nationals experience
online for all pool enthusiasts to enjoy. 1st Place 8-Ball Women’s Intermediate Team: Match Up’s Ms. B Haven - BMW Billiards
Video of "what was happening" is
available on demand. You are able to
view, download and play back later if
you wish. This is all FREE. For those
who could not attend, left early or
wanted to check up on the progress
of their friends or family were able to
do so. There is a forum called Billiard
Nation that you can write about your
experience in Las Vegas.
OTBnTV and crew arrived in Las
Vegas Thursday, May 22nd for the
VNEA Nationals. We were there to film
interviews from players, VNEA staff
and officials and the finals on Monday

Larkin did the interviewing and
walked around the Riviera tournament
floor filming and giving our viewing
audience a taste of what VNEA
Nationals is all about so you can see
what it's like if you have never been
here.
We had the pleasure of interviewing
one of the many referees on the floor,
Sheree Kennedy. She was one of the
friendliest, nicest, just good time
human beings. And to be truthful she
is pretty typical of how people have
treated us at the VNEA Nationals in
Vegas when we were filming
of the Singles events. Scheduling of
the finals matches prevented us from
filming all the events but we were able
to film the 9-Ball Women’s
Intermediate Singles Finals and the
9-Ball Men’s Regular Singles Finals.
In the men's final, James Delahunty,
flew 22 hours from Australia to get
here and got in to the finals against
Mac Combs. The video on demand
was available online Tuesday the 27th
of May and you can watch the finals
and the interviews with the two.
We've had a great time talking to
everyone. Don Akerlow and Becka

interviews or just talking off the cuff.
OTBnTV was proud to be able to give
the VNEA league players there 15
minutes of fame so to speak and their
just due.
The Suds and Chips Mixer, Parade
of Flags, Hall of Fame Inductions and
Singles Awards Presentations were
held Monday evening the 26th. We
had the opportunity to film the event
and put it online and it brought a tear
of pride to my eyes when they sang
the National anthem and I stood there
among thousands of people with my
1st Place 8-Ball Open Intermediate Team: Fort Crook Zack - N.T.S.
hand on my heart. I felt proud to be
an American, a pool player but most
of all to be surrounded by people from all over this country and all over the
world!
Team competition began on Tuesday the 27th and continued throughout the
rest of the week. Scheduling these many team events is a logistics nightmare
and when it came time to film some of the finals it was inevitable that they
couldn’t all be filmed as many were being played at the same time. We were
able to film the first set of the Women’s Regular Team event which went for
two sets and was won by Run Baby Run. The other team final that was
filmed was the Men’s Masters 8-Ball which was won by Two Stooges Metro
from Minnesota.
All in all we posted 39 videos and over 800 photos, all of which are available
to be viewed and downloaded if you wish. After leaving June 1st driving 2
days to get home from Las Vegas, then spending all day on the 3rd day
boxing up The Break and sending it out to all the pool players we had 2 days

that we were able to bring to the pool players that could not make it to the
championships an experience that they may share with family and friends.
The photo galleries from the VNEA International Championships have over 800 photos
and have been viewed more than 40,000 times! We even had one viewer watching
from home (Finland) who writes, “My significant other is in Vegas...anyone else
have family or friend in Vegas? I have not seen him on the otbntv.com site for pics or
video yet! I'm waiting for more videos to be posted or pics!!!!!” and later on when we
still didn’t have any photos or video she wrote, “My husband is in Vegas! Team-

VNEA as well as the Riviera's staff for a great tournament. The accomodations were
superb and we had a great time. Here is a link that you can watch the VNEA

www.onthebreaknews.com/VNEA-VideoPage3.htm
We here at OTBnTV would like to thank each and everyone of the VNEA staff that
took the time to talk to us in Las Vegas as well as the vendors, players and visitors
that rooted on their teams and favorite players. We were honored to have the privilege
of filming the VNEA International championships and bringing it to pool enthusiast
all across this great
country of ours as
well as from around
the world.
From myself, Mary
and Becka we had
a great time, we had
a blast. We tried to
bring to all viewers
of the VNEA Video
Magazine
an
experience that
they were there
talking to the
players the winning
1st Place Intermediate Scotch Doubles
Tina Setchick, Travis Gallup
teams, the referees
and especially the
awards ceremonies and the Parade of Flags.
The VNEA does a magnificent job at honoring the winners for the singles event at
the Parade of Flags but is most impressive at the Award Ceremonies on the last
day of the Championship. While filming the team awards we met some of the nicest
pool players and coin machine operators that you could ever meet. I hope that we
were able to bring just a small portion of what the VNEA International Championships
were all about. They are second to none.
We appreciate all the hard work you did for us at OTBnTV to promote us and make
it easier for us to talk to the players as well as everyone else.
Thank you again for letting us be a part of something so much larger and we hope
1st Place 8-Ball Sportswomen’s Team: 8 Breakin Ladies - Superior Vending
Finland. So far no pictures but I did send a wish to OTBnTV.” We finally had her
send a messge to her husband that we would interview him during the Awards
Banquet on the final Saturday of the Championships. His interview is online. We
were more than happy to help and only wished we had brought more crew with us
and another camera to be in
more places filming at the
same time. We plan on doing
that next year.
We would just like to thank the
VNEA again for the opportunity
that you gave us and our
sponsors: VNEA, Mueller
Recreational Products, Platis
Law Firm and Chameleon The
Perfect Rack. We also want to
thank Gregg and Brian Elliott
1st Place Master Scotch Doubles
for their help in putting on a
Angela Jackson, Rich Cunningham
fantastic tournament and Gary
Benson and Judy Mehle for coordinating the finals for us.
Hope to see everyone next year!

“Just Like I Planned” is a
first year winning team.
They lost their first match against “O.S.I.O.W”. Winning in their next match’s against
“The Undertakers”, “Money Shot”, “Black Star Rebels” and “All Racked Up” brought
them to the finals match against “On The Snap” (2007 LTC winner), Just Like I
planned pulled it off in 3.
The Hawks are no strangers to the NTC. This will be the team’s third year participating.
The team won 5 straight match’s defeating “Hit and Run”, “Walt’s Wreckers”,
“Wayne’s Crashers”, “Hit and Run” again and in the finals match Steilacoom Deli.
The third team, “Smooth Strokers”, won their first match against “Eastside 4 Life”
(3-0) only to lose their 2nd against “No Mercy”. Winning against “The Replacements”,
“Oyatay” and “Eight On The Break” brought them into the finals against “Dennys
Aliens”. Smooth Strokers defeated this tough team 3-1.
9 BALL
“One More Time” lost first round against “Yeee” sending them to the B side to battle
their way forward. From there the team defeated “Reese’s Pieces”, “Late Arrivals”
and “Low Ball’s”. The finals match was against “9 Ball Junkies”, with One More
Time being the winner.
The second team to win was “Green Mile”. This group took no prisoners with winning
five rounds over “Pops Ballers”, “Make Daddy Happy”, “All Racked Up PPV” and

Cue Club Owner Caela Huddleston, Champion Santos Sambajon, TD “LA Dave” Billings
own, and 10-Ball on the break spots up if it goes in either of the bottom two
pockets. The Cue Club added $750 to the pot. Santos Sambajon made a
welcome appearance and drew the attention of players and spectators
alike. Right out of the gate he drew one the all time fiercest players to
come out of Colorado: Tony Piazza. The match was a see-saw battle that
had Tony finding the hill first. Santos would make it interesting shortly after
by making it a hill-hill match. It looked as if Tony was not going to get back
to the table after Sambajon’s break, but Santos failed to pull off a 3-10
carom. Tony would then make a tough run out only to watch the cue ball
travel two rails and
carry all the way into
the corner after making
the case 10-Ball.
Things would only get
more interesting for the
Filipino champion as Nick
Smith of
Colorado
Springs also took him to
the hill. However, Nick
failed a routine 9 in the
side opening the door for
Final Four
Santos to continue on in Tony Piazza, Chris McDaniel, “ATM”
Andrew Pettinger, Santos Sambajon
the winner’s bracket. In
the finals of the winners side Santos ran into Chris McDaniel. This match turned
out to be quite the crowd pleaser with wicked safeties followed by great kicks. Both
players showed some grit and, yet again, Sambajon found himself in a hill-hill contest.
With the first real chance to take down the match, McDaniel kept getting out of line
but came with some nice reverse cuts and a cross-corner bank to end up with a
reasonable shot at the 10 in the side. Unfortunately, Chris was unable to find the
bottom of the hole as the 10 hit both points of the pocket leaving Santos straight in.
That’s three bullets the man dodged!
Meanwhile, Piazza made his way through the entire one loss side coming from
behind against “ATM” Andrew Pettinger and bulldozing through McDaniel 6-2.
However, it seemed like Santos’ day as he dispatched Tony 6-1 in the finals to snag
the top place and $600 cash.
A special thanks to the players that supported this event and a shout out to the
boys from El Paso who made the trek. The Big Box Summer Series is supported
by Miller Beer and a points list is now running. The top point getter will receive a
$300 American Express gift Card courtesy of Miller. Up next is the $500 added One
Pocket on July 26, the $750 added 8-Ball on August 16, and the $1000 added 9-Ball
“Invitational” on September 6 which is double points! For details see

R.I.P. GO-AWAY JESSIE
A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS
from: Gene Miller
By Janet Thomas
Meg Clark of the San Francisco Tavern
Pool Association informed me on Tuesday
morning that Jessie Jameson had died.
He was one of the most well-known Bay
Area players, and among the most
legendary. I didn’t know him well, and I
don’t know if he knew my name, but he
recognized me as that guy who ran the
tournaments at Palace Billiards. The first
time Jessie spoke to me was in 1987.
“Five bucks.” I was sitting near a table at
Palace, and he was offering me a choice
of several sweaters he was peddling.
Jessie Jameson
There was one memorable time in that
Market Street pool hall, when the legendary Ronnie Allen came through
town in 1988 looking for a one-pocket match and the call went out for “Go
Away.” It was a brief, but entertaining, encounter. After Palace closed, Jessie
did most of his playing in San Francisco taverns, and was a regular player
in the San Francisco Tavern Pool Association’s eight ball leagues. Playing
for Nob Hill tavern this season, he finished with sixteen wins against only
two losses, compiling the highest winning percentage (.889) in the 542player, 60-team league.
Saying goodbye is difficult; as family,
friends, and Roseburg league members
know all too well.
Bruce Eugene Deal passed away
suddenly at his home in Winston, Oregon
on May 13, 2008. Bruce was born July 9,
1948 in Nathan, Arkansas and moved to
the Roseburg area as a young boy. He
has lived in the Winston/Roseburg area
since that time.
Bruce was a member of the Roseburg BCA
League (and ACS League for a couple of
years) and was one of the original members
when the league first began in the late
1990s. During his time as a league
member Bruce also served as a board
Bruce Deal
member, board president, and league
operator. When the words “pool” or “billiards” are mentioned in Roseburg, Bruce’s
name was not far behind. Bruce began playing pool at a young age, and a few
years ago he was the first Roseburg league member to shoot his way to the Masters
(what a day that was!). Bruce played in the Roseburg City League, before the
Roseburg league was sanctioned and we joined the BCA association. Brice played
pool at many establishments in the area over the years; including such places as
Dirty Dicks (now the Scoreboard), the Sunset Tavern, the Pump House Tavern (back
in the day), Yogee’s and most recently, Frankie’s Place in Sutherlin.
Bruce was an icon in the Roseburg area when it came to pool. When traveling
players came to town looking for a “game”, Bruce was the first person anyone
called. He was a well-known player in the area and was a mentor to many of the
younger players. He was an enthusiastic team player, a serious straight pool
player, and, back in the day, played many a snooker game. He truly loved the
game! Bruce looked forward to the tournaments at Lincoln City and Las Vegas
each year with great enthusiasm. He enjoyed playing in the local pool tournaments,
and the many out of town tournaments, also. I remember years past traveling to
such places as Ma’s Dairy Farm or the Poor House in the Eugene/Springfield area,
because he enjoyed the competition so much Bruce was very competitive and
always enjoyed the challenge of a new player (who thought they might be better).
and spent many hours playing straight pool. Those of us that knew Bruce share his
love of pool, and we will miss him greatly. His team members - Eric Baird, Dave
Butler, Mike Cronk, Mike Hocevar, Gary Maxwell, and Eli Folau - will be one great
player short when they begin the new season in September. Gone but not forgotten,
we will miss him!
In Bruce’s honor, his team is holding a memorial pool tournament at Yogee’s in
Roseburg this month.

Hard Times Billiards Sacramento, CA
By Tom Suarez Tournament Director
Hard Times in Sacramento is guaranteeing for July and August First
of the Month tournaments $500 for the One Pocket Event and $1000
for the 9 Ball event. The 9 Ball
event is limited to the first 64
players that pay their entry fees.
No Green fees, No TD fees and
minimum payout of 25% of the
field. 100% of all entry fees and
the full guaranteed money will be
paid out.
June’s first of the month One Pocket
and 9 Ball events were just as good
as May’s. There were 39 One Pocket
players and a full field of 64 players in
the 9 Ball event.
Ernesto Dominguez and son Oscar
cashed in both events. Ernesto
finished First in the One Pocket and
tied for 5th in the 9 Ball. Oscar took
4th in the 9 Ball and tied for 7th in the
One Pocket. It is always a pleasure
Ernesto Dominguez
to see the Dominquez family play at
Hard Times, they are so professional and set a very good example of
politeness and good sportsmanship;.
The 39 players in the One Pocket event had some exciting matches. HillHill seemed to be the theme of the event and ‘down to the last ball on the
table’ settled too many matches.
39 Players at $20 entry plus $500 totaled $1280.00 prize fund.

The Nine Ball event had a full field of 64 players totaling $1600 in entry
fees. With the $1000 added by Hard Times, the total prize fund was
$2600.00
Jeff Gregory took 1st place with a hard fought battle with George Michaels
in the true double elimination finals. George came over from the left side to
defeat Jeff in the first match to force the final match. Jeff won the lag and
quickly got out in front 2 -0 with a couple of very nice break and runs. This
proved to be the final margin Jeff needed to win the match and tournament.

California Billiard Club’s
Summer Shootout
Mountain View, CA - June 20-22
All matches, race to eight,
double elimination, USPPA
handicap with 5-game
maximum spot.
This was my first
experience as tournament
director in Mountain View,
and it was a lot of fun.
These events are actually
pool player reunions, and it
was indeed that for me. I
saw many old friends and
handed prize money to some of them. It was a 77-player field, a two-day
event that brought back the final 32 on Sunday for the money matches. My
only disappointment were the two forfeits. I never like to forfeit a player, but
it’s a rule that you simply must have in any tournament, and it’s almost
always a friend of mine who gets the big zero. Other than that, we had a
mellow tournament on one of the warmest weekend’s in the year. You can
expect the same format for California Billiard Club’s big Reno Warm-Up in
the Fall, which Tony Annigoni promises will get more publicity.
Congratulations to Deo, a player any tournament director would love to
hand a stack of cash to. Always a good sport and a great player. Undefeated,
he was rarely challenged in any match and won eight straight games more
than once on his way to the hot seat.
